My wife and I have moved to Italy in mid-September, 2007. Prior to this move and after, I had identified, collected, assembled for our eventual move to Italy many, many links about things one should be aware of before moving to Italy. I believe that these links will benefit other like-minded individuals who are considering or dreaming to move to Italy. This effort is on-going and I hope will benefit with the interaction with interested individuals. I will continue to make entries to this blog.

Travel Warnings and Advisories

currently advising citizens against all non-essential travel to these
countries. But a government travel warning doesn't necessarily mean that
it's a bad idea to plan a trip to a particular part of the world. In
fact, within the past few years the governments of the U.S., Canada and
the U.K. have also released warnings about the following countries: Thailand, Mexico, China, India and the United States." – written by Sarah Schlichter – "About Us" – Source: Found in the Travel Tips section on the IndependentTraveler.com® – "Travel Tips, Trip Planning and Discount Travel"
